251: Rachael Talibart - Originality & Self-Expression in Nature Photography

Welcome to episode 251 of F-Stop Collaborate and Listen with your host Matt Payne. This week on the podcast, I was joined by none other than Rachael Talibart, a photographer from the U.K. who is known for her wave and coastal photography.  Rachael has been interviewed countless times before on other podcasts; however, I wanted to dig deeper into what makes her tick and what her processes are in the field to make unique and exceptional work. On this week's episode we discuss: The importance of originality in Rachael's work, How Rachael instills ideals of self-expression and originality into her students, Tips on how to create more personal and unique photography, Rachael's approaches to some of her more recent photographs on the coast, Book publishing, And a lot more! Over on Patreon this week, Rachael and I discuss why she decided to specialize in photography as opposed to being more of a generalist. Here's who Rachael recommended for the podcast this week: Jonathan Critchley. Ragnar Axelsson. Other items mentioned on the show: 1. Support the podcast on Patreon. 2.
